Question 1

what is THE PROTOTYPE VIEW: CATEGORIES AS FUZZY SETS

Answer 1

No defining features: not every member has same features
Relationship between having a feature and being a member of a category is probabilistic (more features equal you will be more likely in the category)
Central features to category: very likely to occur
Peripheral features to category: less likely to occur (categories that are less shared with members but a member can still have that feature)
